I can't any more guys. My work is sliding and my performance is terrible.
The money was fun for the short time, but I just can't anymore.
I've written this 2 week notice. What do you think?

It feels unnecessarily long 😒
But I really want to see if this company is willing to fight for me. I know I shouldn't count on it, but I'm hopeful.

Overall, a good letter. I think everything after the bit on being "flexible and open-minded" can be tossed. You can end it with looking forward to further discussion. From there, let the negotiations begin. If you don't get what you want, be prepared to walk. Best of luck to you.

Hey! Yeah! Made it this long until I got fired. So there you go. Road the gravy train a while, and I started to slide off. No biggie, onto other things.

I agree with others. Your writing is good but be more concise. At this length, it should be a conversation.

Ask ChatGPT to reduce this down to one sentence per every paragraph you have.

Sometimes being direct as possible is the best route. “Hey, I’m getting poached. It’s tempting. Can you sweeten the pot?”

A 10-paragraph email "reaching out to discuss" is not a 2-week notice. Don't lie to yourself.

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job. Third: As the main job always has the priority, the Second and third jobs must preferably be contract gigs with not too many meetings everyday. Remember: another day, another dollar.
